Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler), a small town pizza shop owner who writes greeting cards (not that Hallmark has accepted any), inherits a $40 billion business from an uncle he never met. So at the behest of the company's executives, he goes to the big city to sign paperwork until the executives can raise the money to buy him out.
It's big news, and tabloid TV reporter Babe (Winona Ryder) goes undercover to get the scoop on him.
Of course, the executives turn out to be crooked, and Deeds's small-town honesty is needed to save the day. And of course he and Babe fall in love.
It's predictable, but fun, and requires major suspension of disbelief. Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half with the kids, but not a movie to purchase for the collection.

Mr. Deeds starring Adam Sandler is a very loose remake of the Gary Cooper classic Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. The best thing about this 2002 film is the surprisely great chemistry between Sandler and Winona Ryder. Ryder is such a natural actress, her and Sandler are complete opposites when it comes to acting but their different styles seem to mesh well together (who knew?!). The comedy is a bit forced and contrived but there are some amusing moments, give this quriky film a try.

This was an entertaining movie with a sound cast. The story didn't quite measure up to the original as the remake, but there were some funny shining moments. While this is supposed to be an Adam Sandler film, John Turturro literally steals the movie. He is hilarious as Emilio Lopez the "sneaky sneaky" butler. This movie showcases his well timed comedic talent. Without his contribution, it would have been just an okay remake of a 1920's classic.

Adam Sandler was one of those actors who you can just love. I loved him in 50 First Dates and Click for instance. In some of his movies, he's just plain irritating, and not funny. He's in the middle-ish in Mr Deeds.
Mr Deeds is a quaint little movie, featuring Adam as Longfellow Deeds, a guy from a little town (which he's never left), who writes greeting cards poems, and continuously gets rejected by Hallmark. From someone who works with greeting cards, they could have been suitable! He inherits $40 billion, a shocking amount which would make anyone go on a shopping spree, but at the same time, Deeds has his feet firmly on the ground. The amount doesn't phase him in the slightest.
Featuring a host of stars from Peter Gallagher, to Winona Ryder, John Turturro, to Steve Buscemi, and more familiar faces, the stars manage to keep the film upright, and watchable. Yes it's almost instantly forgettable (apart from the character Steve Buscemi plays) as soon as the credits start rolling, and it's typical Adam Sandler nonsensical trash, but at the same time, it's alright. It's watchable. And it has its odd funny moments. I just prefer Click & 50 First Dates. It shows another side of Adam, apart from the funny, goofy guy.
